Agents/Epilogue 1

How incorrigible.

I was wondering why I was called out so suddenly, but this is... You want me to help with drawing a poster for Starfest?

Anzu. Let me say this again: I am the vice president of the student council. I have my position and responsiblities, and important work only I can do.

I'm too busy to be spending time working on some drawing.

Just from Anzu. It was pretty surprising — I didn't expect you to have that kind of hobby, vice president.

Anzu praised you a lot, you see. Called you "teacher" and everything~♪

I don't recall making her my apprentice. Besides, I might've wanted to be a mangaka, but that was all in the past.

...Anzu, your lineart is fine but your placement of colour is absolutely sloppy. They're clashing with each other — a waste considering that the composition is fine enough. No, don't use that colour... Argh, I'll do it!

We're not plotting a thing, really.

Himemiya, Anzu, and I were picking out Christmas presents together the other day, you see. We're kinda stumped on what to give to the president.

On one hand, he'd probably be used to getting expensive stuff. On the other hand, going cheap isn't really a good idea either. And it'd be rude to not get anything at all.

So we've been wondering... if he'd be happy if we performed a Christmas song for him.

It was Anzu's idea, so we've been practicing.

Anzu's been studying song composition. She made us a cute song!

But we don't have a lot of time and we haven't practiced a lot, so we're in a hurry. Can you give us any advice, vice president~?

Hm. That Tsukinaga did say he'd been teaching Anzu composition.

Asking your seniors for help is a good thing to do. If that is what you're doing, I will do everything I can to assist.

I admit, I'm pleased that you're relying on me, Himemiya.

Looking at you reminds me of Eichi when he was young. I'll make sure to give you proper advice, so give me a run through of your performance.

No, I'll have to decline. ...I just can't familiarize myself with the Christmas mood.

More importantly, Isara. How are the instructions I gave you the other day? Don't tell me you've forgotten.

A-alright... You sure it'll be fine, right? I believe in you, Isara.

How incorrigible... I certainly wasted a bunch of time.

Man, you saved our hides! Thanks to you, the Christmas song and the poster were completed perfectly.

You're the greatest, vice president~♪

I want you to relax — consider it a reward for completing my instructions...♪
